Gate driver on array circuit

ABSTRACT

A gate driver on array (GOA) circuit is provided. The GOA circuit is designed to form a GOA sharing unit by arranging adjacent two stage GOA units in a conventional GOA circuit. Anew GOA circuit enables single-stage GOA circuit to be shared every two stages of GOA output signals. The new GOA circuit can reduce a number of thin film transistors in the GOA circuit and reduce a wiring design, which helps to reduce a design space of the GOA circuit, realizes a narrow bezel design, simplifies the GOA circuit, and can reduce power consumption of the GOA circuit.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and more particularly to a gate driver on array (GOA) circuit.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Driving of horizontal scanning lines of current active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panels are realized by external integrated circuits. The external integrated circuits can control stepwise charging and discharging of row scanning lines of each stage. Gate driver on array (GOA) technologies are based on a thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display array process to fabricate a gate scanning driving circuit on a thin film transistor array substrate to realize stepwise driving of row scanning, which has advantages of reducing production cost and realizing a narrow frame design of a panel, and is used for various displays. Therefore, the GOA technologies can integrate a line scanning driving circuit on an array substrate of a display panel, thereby significantly reducing usage of an external integrated circuit (IC), thereby reducing the production cost and power consumption of the display panel, and enabling a narrow frame of the display device.

Current oxide semiconductor gate driver on array (IGZO-GOA) circuits are complicated, and each stage circuit includes a plurality of working modules. At present, large-sized display panels have become a major trend in the industry. As panel size and a number of gate drive lines increase, this results in a larger layout area of each stage of the GOA circuit, which is disadvantageous for achieving the narrow frame of the display device, and the load increase also increases power consumption of the GOA module.

Simulation waveforms in FIG. 3 are brought into the circuit for simulation, and a very good signal output is obtained, as shown in FIG. 4.

Specifically, with reference to FIG. 4, the embodiment uses the first-stage and second-stage GOA sharing circuits as examples to illustrate the working process of the circuit:

First, when the start signal (STV) is at a high potential, the second clock signal (CK2) is simultaneously at a high potential, and the eleventh thin film transistor T11 and the twelfth thin film transistor T12 are turned on, and a high potential is transmitted to the first node. Q, the first node Q is at a high potential, and the twenty-first thin film transistor T21, the twenty-second thin film transistor T22, the twenty-third thin film transistor T23, and the twenty-fourth thin film transistor T24 are turned on. Since the inverter structure (the fifty-first thin film transistor T51 to the fifty-fourth thin film transistor T54) is connected between the first node Q and the third node QB, the potentials between them is opposite, and therefore, the third node QB is at a low potential. The forty-first thin film transistor T41, the forty-second thin film transistor T42, the forty-third thin film transistor T43, the forty-fourth thin film transistor T44, the forty-fifth thin film transistor T45, and the forty-sixth thin film transistor T46 are turned off. At the same time, the fourth-stage signal Cout(4) and the fifth-stage signal Cout(5) are at a low potential, and the thirty-first thin film transistor T31, the thirty-second thin film transistor T32, the thirty-third thin film transistor T33, and the thirty-fourth thin film transistor T34 are turned off, the fourth clock signal CK(4) and the fifth clock signal CK(5) are at a low potential, and the output first-stage signal Cout(1), the output second-stage signal Cout(2), the output first scanning signal G(1), and the output second scanning signal G(2) are at a low potential.

Then, the fourth clock signal CK(4) rises to a high potential, and the eleventh thin film transistor T11 and the twelfth thin film transistor T12 are turned off. At this time, the first node Q is subjected to a capacitive coupling effect and is lifted to a higher potential. The third node QB maintains a low potential. The thirty-first thin film transistor T31, the thirty-second thin film transistor T32, the thirty-third thin film transistor T33, the thirty-fourth thin film transistor T34, the forty-first thin film transistor T41, the forty-second thin film transistor T42, the fourth The thirteen thin film transistor T43, the forty fourth thin film transistor T44, the forty fifth thin film transistor T45, and the forty-sixth thin film transistor T46 continue to be turned off. At this time, the first-stage signal Cout(1) and the first scanning signal G(1) are at a high potential. At this time, the sixty-first thin film transistor T61 is turned on, and the second node N is at a high potential, which reduces leakage currents of the twelfth thin film transistor T12, the forty-sixth thin film transistor T46, and the thirty-third thin film transistor T33.

Then, the fifth clock signal CK(5) rises to a high potential, the first node Q maintains a high potential, and the thirty-first thin film transistor T31, the thirty-second thin film transistor T32, the thirty-third thin film transistor T33, the thirty-fourth thin film transistor T34, the forty-first thin film transistor T41, the forty-second thin film transistor T42, the forty-third thin film transistor T43, the forty-fourth thin film transistor T44, the forty-fifth thin film transistor T45, and the forty-sixth thin film transistor T46 continues to be turned off. At this time, the second-stage signal Cout(2) and the second scanning signal G(2) are at a high potential, and the second node N is at a high potential.

Subsequently, the fourth clock signal CK(4) is lowered to a low potential. The eleventh thin film transistor T11, the twelfth thin film transistor T12, the forty-fifth thin film transistor T45, the forty-sixth thin film transistor T46, the thirty-third thin film transistor T33, and the thirty-fourth thin film transistor T34 are turned off, the first node Q is maintained at a high potential. At the same time, the thirty-second thin film transistor T32 is turned on, the output first-stage signal Cout(1) and the output first scanning signal G(1) are lowered to a low potential, and the second node N is maintained at a high potential.

Finally, the fifth clock signal CK(5) is lowered to a low potential, and the thirty-third thin film transistor T33 and the thirty-fourth thin film transistor T34 are turned on, the first node Q is lowered to a low potential, and the twenty-first thin film transistor T21, the twenty-second thin film transistor T22, the twenty-third thin film transistor T23, and the twenty-fourth thin film transistor T24 are turned off. At this time, due to the presence of the inverter, the third node QB is pulled up to a high potential, and the forty-first thin film transistor T41, the forty-fifth thin film transistor T45 and the forty-sixth thin film transistor T46 are turned on, the second-stage signal Cout(2) and the second scanning signal G(2) are pulled to a low potential. The fifth-stage signal Cout(5) rises to a high potential, and the thirty-first thin film transistor T31 is turned on, and the thirty-first thin film transistor T31 and the forty-first thin film transistor T41 simultaneously pull down potentials of the second-stage signal Cout(2) and the second scanning signal G(2).
